The Vacation Chronicles - Day 1

The vacation officially kicked off today, and damn it feels good. I slept until 9:00 this morning, which is the first time that's happened (weekends included) since maybe January. I then took my time getting ready to attack the day. I set a list of goals for myself last night, and one of them was "Relax." Really descriptive, I know, but I need to make sure I take some time for myself the next 3 weeks. I could easily get caught up trying to figure out where I want to live, finding an apartment, and figuring out where life is going to take me over the next few months. I promised myself that while all of those things are important and need to get done, so is my mental health. With that point in mind, I also promised myself I would make the next 3 weeks feel as different from my normal life as possible - I'm going to eat different foods, not be on a schedule all the time, try new things and definitely NOT think about work. So far so good, as it's just after 12 and I'm finally leaving Queens to start the neighborhood search. I took a little detour onto Steinway St. to do some shopping, and it took longer than expected. Things are looking different already!
